ARP 200-6001 High Performance Connecting Rod Bolt Kit Chrome Moly - 8740

The ARP 200-6001 is a complete connecting rod bolt kit engineered with ARP's premium 8740 chrome moly material for high-performance engine applications. Trusted by leading connecting rod manufacturers as original equipment, these fasteners represent the industry standard for reliability and strength in demanding racing environments.

Key Features:

• Forged in-house using premium 8740 chrome moly steel with tensile strength between 180,000-210,000 psi
• Threads rolled after heat-treatment to provide up to 10 times longer fatigue strength compared to competitors
• Heat-treated using specialized vertical racks to ensure complete 360-degree penetration
• Precision CNC-machined to exacting specifications for consistent performance
• Application-specific design optimized for reliability under high loads and RPM
• Each bolt proudly stamped with the ARP name as assurance of quality

Wave-Loc Technology Benefits:

• Wave-Loc surface contacts rod and cap for optimal alignment and reduced fluctuating stress
• Provides secure interference fit (.001 to .005 range) accommodating wide range of factory tolerances
• Superior material grain flow compared to knurled bolts that create stress risers
• Smooth contact surface virtually eliminates galling and scoring of the rod

Important Maintenance Note: Monitor bolt stretch regularly and replace any bolt that has permanently elongated by .0005 inches to maintain optimal clamping force and engine reliability.

The 8740 chrome moly material offers excellent toughness and adequate fatigue properties for most racing applications, making it the most cost-effective solution when bolt strength appropriately matches anticipated loads plus a safety margin. ARP's superior manufacturing process delivers connecting rod bolts with proven reliability that racers trust for critical engine builds.
